specialized
technical journals. Since 1957, he and H . V. Malmstadt (University of Illinois) have collabo rated in the development and presen tation of courses which will give scien tists of all types a working knowledge of t h e electronics of instrumentation. I n this endeavor they have published three books: "Electronics for Scien tists," "Digital Electronics for Scien tists," and " C o m p u t e r Logic," and have designed equipment for instrumentation teaching and development. These texts and laboratory equipment form t h e basis for instrumentation courses in m a n y college technical departments. H e was a n Alfred P . Sloan Fellow from 1964 to 1969. H e has served on several committees in t h e ACS and the Electrochemical Society and is cur rently chairman of t h e Theoretical D i vison of the Electrochemical Society.

I n his acceptance remarks, D r . F e r r a r o made an impassioned plea for societies acting in concert and individuals in cooperation to use whatever influence and means possible to convey to the nation the seriousness of the unemployment among scientists. W h a t is especially to be deplored is the tendency to release employees in their 40's or 50's, who on reentering t h e job m a r k e t find t h e m selves unemployable in their own fields. D r . F e r r a r o claims the loss to t h e country., is immeasurable and calls on all professional societies to act· in s u p p o r t of their own memberships.

Industry Items The Electronic Instruments Division of Beckman Instruments, Inc., 2200 Wright Ave., Richmond, Calif. 94804, has announced a "total service" plan for electronic instruments, computers, computer peripherals, and data systems. Regional service centers have been es tablished for the repair, calibration, and certification of equipment. Major details of the plan are included in a 4-page brochure available from the company. Evans Electroselenium, Ltd., of Halstead, Essex, has added a comprehen sive range of pH meters and electrodes to its extensive line of scientific instru ments. The move is a direct result of the company's merger earlier this year with the Corning Glass Works, of Cor ning, U.S.A. A new type of franchise for profes sional engineers has been announced by New York Testing Laboratories, Inc., 81 Urban Ave., Westbury, L. Ι., Ν. Υ. 11590. The laboratory is providing ex clusive urban territories to professional engineers or engineering firms anxious to enter the expanding air pollution services and product liabilities field.
